When Dreams Come True :Being featured on a Newspaper

It was less than 2 weeks ago when i said that one of the things that i wanted to do before turning 40 was being featured on a magazine. Well some how things worked and i ended up being featured on an Albanian newspaper that wrote an article about fashion bloggers and that wanted to know more about me. I was , and still i am , so over the moon for the happiness. My family was so happy and proud of me that they ended up buying over 20 copies. I can't now wait to have some of them in my hands and look at them for hours and hours. (i still have to believe it ) .

Here there are some of the photos that i was sent since now i am not living in Albania.

Here it is the interview in English / Albanian/ Italian 1.How did you decide to start a blog?I have always liked fashion and I've always read many blogs so I decided to try to open one where I show what I like and how I dress for different occasions. It was and still is my way to relax and get to know many people and new places.2.Do you get inspired by blogs or do you try to stay original in your way?I love to see other blogs but in the end I always try to follow my tastes and my style. I don't follow trends but i prefer trying to adapt them to my style. 3. How do you react to negative comments?If it's constructive criticism I try to understand it and improve myself , if it is only an offense i ignore it. In life we ​​can never please everyone. 4. Abroad blog posts every day. Can you keep this rite or do you think that is possible?Being blogger is not easy, but I try to publish new material every 2-3 days, I prefer quality. 5. What qualities / outfits does make your blog differ from the others?I always try to combine different styles, from sporty to elegant, from formal to very casual. I like to offer my readers various looks that can be used for different occasions. My strong point is the fact that i wear clothes that all can afford. My motto is: "Beautiful and fashionable but on a budget"6. Is it difficult to propose always different looks or you do it easily?I personally change every day and try to propose this change. This is not easy but I hope to do be doing it good. 7. How do you write a post? Where do you start? From the outfit or the photos or other?It all depends on the type of topic i want to write. If it concerns a combination of clothing then I start with an idea and then snap the photos. If i want to talk about tricks then i write directly, but if I want to write an article on fashion in general , I read many newspapers and blogs and then finally write my point of view.8. Is this a blog to inspire people how to dress taking ideas from you or to simply talk about fashion?For both reasons. I like to talk to them and get their opinion and then I like to offer my ideas and maybe i can inspire someone. The truth is that many times while trying to inspire I'm to be one to be inspired. 9. If you had to close the blog would you do it for a personal choice or a criticism?Surely personal choice. The criticism doesn't bring me down.In life my parents have always taught me to follow my passions and not give up just because a few people do not like them. You only live once and you have to follow your hearts.10.Why the readers of this newspaper (called Paloma) should read your blog?If the readers of Paloma are passionate about fashion and beauty and want to discover new styles, new combinations, new ideas, save money and learn all about tricks then they will be happy to read about all that in my blog.My blog differs from the others because I do not have a single point of view and one way or style of dress, I experiment with everything and try everything from brands to the various products. Living in Italy I have had the opportunity to travel a lot and see many things and i tell about hem all in my blog.
